August smart lock 2nd gen vs 3rd gen config?

Configuration
1

Hi! looking to buy the august lock.
My home is 90% z-wave so I was looking at the 3rd gen model. But do I really need it with HA?
I can get the 3rd gen for 229$. I can get 2nd + wifi + keypay for 229$ aswell.

Do I really need the z-wave at all ?

Anyone got these locks and can say something about it?
What if August stops their service. I guess the log-in etc wont work then. For future proof maybe z-wave is best?

scratching my head here. If only the third gen was a bit cheaper

Regards
John

I’m thinking the same thing. Getting the doorbell with the 3rd gen lock and the keypad. I think these might be enough and not need the Pro for zwave compatibility. The doorbell acts as the wifi hub and HA can connect via the API…I think.
